Gavin Newsom’s Explosive Speech Targeting Trump-Appeasing Democrats

California Governor Gavin Newsom swiftly expressed his outrage following the Senate's vote that concluded the six-week government shutdown. In rapid succession, he issued two fiery statements that unequivocally articulated his position and highlighted the growing rifts within his party. What should have marked a moment of triumph for Democrats morphed into an open insurrection as eight Democrats sided with Republicans to endorse a deal that neglected to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies. This agreement, set to fund the government through late January, also included back pay for furloughed workers but relied on a vague promise from Republicans for a future vote on ACA tax credits, which hangs delicately in a 60-vote threshold.Newsom’s criticism was pointed; his press aide characterized the results as “pathetic,” while he reiterated the sentiment with a simple, damning: “Pathetic.” Progressive leaders echoed this frustration, decrying the compromise as a betrayal of constituents, igniting discussions about leadership changes among Senate Democrats amidst rising discontent across the political spectrum.
